(I should be referencing the original artcle but my newsreader can't
find it, sorry)

This is from 'Reading the Code':

   A TexiWEB document is a C program that has been cut into sections,
   rearranged, and annotated, with the goal to make the program as a
   whole as comprehensible as possible to a reader who starts at the
   beginning and reads the entire program in order.

Do people in general find that LP is a way of documenting a program that
has already been (designed and) implemented rather than part of the
process of designing the program? I'd (naively) hoped for the latter!
